The connectingHR unconference grid – setting the agenda

Today’s connectingHR unconference is well under way. Delegates spent the first hour or so discussing these four questions in a world cafe style.

What’s good about work?

What’s bad about work?

What would we like to change?

What’s stopping us changing now and in the future?

Attendees then wrote down questions they wanted to take on for further discussions. These were added to the grid – quite literally a big grid drawn on paper and stuck to the wall. Delegates then gather around to see the topics to be discussed. Those that suggested the topic run the session.

Here is Flora Marriott talking through the grid. So, hope this is useful if you have never seen an unconference grid in action – this is how the uncoference agenda is set.
